I've been to Montreal many times, and have walked around where this shop is, but never actually noticed Candylabs. I only discovered them when my brother and sister-in-law got me 2 packs of candies from them as part of my Christmas present. The candies they got me were so cute. They were shaped like little sushi rolls and even came with mini chopsticks, lol. The ones that looked like Futomaki were strawberry-kiwi flavour. The ones that looked like Salmon Maki were grapefruit flavoured. The candies were crunchy and really tasty! And so cute! In addition to their bricks and mortar store in Montreal, they sell their candies online as well, which is how my brother and sister-in-law bought them. I went to their website, and the candies are a bit pricey, like the sushi candy bags are $6.99 each. However, they are handmade and they source most of their ingredients from Canadian suppliers. Apparently they also make custom candies. Which I imagine would be great promotional materials for companies and also the cutest wedding favours for couples getting married. Looking forward to a time when I can go back to Montreal and go to the bricks and mortar store and check out their candies.

Although they are a bit expensive, the candy here is top notch. They have so many flavours in all…read morethese cute containers like Erlenmeyer's and test tubes. The store is very colourful and inviting. The staff is really nice and they give lots of demonstrations. They will let you have a sample of you aren't sure which flavour you want. My personal favourite is peach. I think it's sweet and tasty. It's a great spot to get a cute candy gift for someone or a treat for yourself.

I can confirm that kids are not the only ones who enjoy this beautiful display of candies in a store that is clean and aesthetically well laid out. The owners of the store radiate warmth and offer explanations on any of their products with pride and enthusiasm. Kudos to them for the layout that has a nice hypnotizing effect of being in a candy fantasy land. Many of the candies are imported, mainly from Europe. The ice-cream bites are homemade and delicious. What a treat for the kids who can go two floors up to visit Barbie Expo, a must see free event.

Stepping into the front door is an immediate flashback to an older time. I was initially brought to Chez BonBon on my search for Stillwell Humbugs.

Still, not a problem as I suddenly found many other candies and sweets that I can remember from my youth or from my grandmother passing onto me. Glad to know that it is also just a 5 minute drive from my place - I will certainly be back.

She must have got it at a boutique in heaven" (Justin Timberlake) There's a plethora of pretty and beautiful things to choose from in this boutique. The Boutique Chocosina is in the heart of Old Montreal on Rue Saint-Sulpice. The gorgeous store is stocked with all types of chocolate, sweet treats, marshmallows, bars, gift baskets and gift boxes, bulk candy and pretty much whatever your sweet tooth desires. We picked up a small bar of salted caramel chocolate and a gorgeous chocolate bar with candied orange rind for us, and jars of caramel and chocolate covered marshmallows for the grandkids. Chocolate and orange combinations have long been a favorite of ours, and I gotta tell you, their version of this combo was fantastic. Delicious milk chocolate with a distinct undertone of orange. You'll find the store in Old Montreal on the corner of Rue Saint-Sulpice and Rue Saint-Paul Ouest just up the street from the Hotel Nelligan.

We went up and down the streets mostly window shopping, but we had to stop by this chocolate boutique. Inside, the shop is a sweet lover's dream. There were walls of colorful, bulk jellybeans in clear tubes, bins of sweet and tart gummies, and paint cans to be/filled with treats. On one wall, there were stacks of caramel pebbles, crunchy balls, and gummies. And by the door, there is an attractive display of sweet gifts. I went with the milk chocolate French bars. The chocolate was creamy, perfectly-tempered, and studded with milk, dark, and white chocolate pearls. I only purchased two bars but there is an online shop to indulge my sweet tooth for when I am done.

I was specifically looking for some giant gummy bears and they had only 1 left, which wasn't that giant at all and it looked like it had been sitting there forever. There's also a Bilboquet ice cream shop inside, with hard ice cream and sorbet to choose from but it looked messy and unappealing. Flavors are hard to read, scribbled on a chalk board. If you're looking for ice cream, there's a shop right across the street that will prove to be much more satisfying.
